Splunk Core Certified Advanced Power User — Question 101

Which Splunk forwarder has a built-in license?

Answer options

• A. Light forwarder
• B. Heavy forwarder
• C. Universal forwarder
• D. Cloud forwarder

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Universal forwarder is designed to forward data to Splunk and comes with a built-in license, allowing it to send data seamlessly. In contrast, the Light forwarder does not have a license, the Heavy forwarder is more complex and supports additional processing, and the Cloud forwarder is used in a cloud environment but does not inherently include a license.
